Plan ahead: Dawsons Corner and Stanningley Bypass improvements upcoming lane closures

Road users are being urged to prepare to plan ahead as works begin next month to make improvements to the B6157 Dawsons Corner junction, as part of the £44.179m Dawsons Corner and Stanningley Bypass improvement scheme.

The works will facilitate the realignment of the junction as part of the final layout which will include a new footway and cycleway, making it easier for people to travel in more sustainable ways.

For six weeks between Monday 8 September to Friday 17 October, there will be a 24/7 lane closure on Bradford Road towards Stanningley (the eastbound lane of the Dawsons Corner roundabout) and vehicles will be diverted along the ring road. Some footways and cycleways will also be closed, but alternative routes will be provided.

The changes to the junction will reduce congestion, improve bus journey times, provide safer crossing facilities for cyclists and pedestrians, and help to support the economic growth across Leeds and Bradford.

Some bus stops will be affected by the works. For more information about affected bus stops and services visit: Dawsons Corner | Metro
